The BMR is about ............... to ........... % ................. in women than in men.
Answer: C
The BMR is about 5 to 10 percent lower in women than in men.
Basal metabolic rate depends largely on the amount of lean, metabolically active tissue. Women on average have a higher proportion of body fat and less muscle mass than men of the same body weight, so their BMR is roughly 5 to 10 percent lower, even when expressed per kilogram of body weight.
The options saying 'higher' reverse the direction, and a difference of 40 to 60 percent is far larger than the real gap between the sexes.
